What is a theoretical perspective?  Sociology is a theoretical perspective based on the assumption that social systems such as society and the family actually exist and that culture, social structure, statuses, and roles are real. Theoretical perspectives are important because assumptions provide frameworks for interpreting what we observe.  A theoretical perspective is a set of assumptions about how society functions

The Three Main Perspectives Functionalism Conflict Symbolic interactionism FunctionalismConflict Symbolic Interactionism

Functionalism  Functionalism interprets each part of society in terms of how it contributes to the stability of the whole society.

Functionalism Functionalists believe that when one part of the system is not working or is dysfunctional, it affects all other parts and creates social problems, which leads to social change. Emile Durkheim

Conflict Conflict theory emphasizes the role of coercion and power in producing social order.

Conflict  According to conflict theory, inequality exists because those in control of society’s resources actively defend their advantages.

Symbolic Interactionism  This perspective relies on the symbolic meaning that people develop and rely upon in the process of socializing.

Symbolic Interactionism  Reality is based on what they believe and not just on what is true. George Herbert Mead
